METHOD FOR REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS SUFFERED STROKE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/476 A61B5/482 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: patient is trained by challenging to imagine a paretic limb movement and controlling the imagined movement. An electroencephalography is recorded; the recorded data are transferred to a computer for synchronous processing, and arousal reaction signals of a sensorimotor rate responsible for the imagined movement are isolated by means of an EEG pattern classifier according to the Bayes method. Identification results of the mental challenge are presented to the patient by a visual feedback in the form of a mark on a monitor. The mark re-position testifies to accuracy of the challenge. The imagined movement challenge is presented for 10 seconds. The training course makes 6-12 days, one training a day, of the length of 20-30 minutes every 1 to 4 days.

EFFECT: method provides more effective rehabilitation that is ensured by the feedback training in the conditions enabling the patient controlling the imagined paretic limb movement visually.
